GLS 1995, DEVELOPMENTS IN DISCOURSE ANALYSIS, is an
interdisciplinary conference featuring presentations and
colloquia focusing on all aspects of discourse analysis.
Topics range from discourse analytic theory to the use of
discourse analysis as a tool in other disciplines. Any
research that focuses on language data at the discourse
level is appropriate, including, but not limited to, work in
cognitive science, conversational analysis, communication
studies, critical discourse analysis, interactional
sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, rhetoric,
psychology, sociology, and text linguistics. The deadline
for abstracts and colloquium proposals is November 18, 1994.
The conference will begin late morning Friday and end late
afternoon on Sunday. A reception will be held Saturday evening.
SUBMITTING AN ABSTRACT: Individual presentation of papers
will be 20 minutes long with 10 additional minutes for
discussion. Please send three copies of a 250-word
double-spaced abstract. On a separate sheet, provide your
name, paper title, mailing and e-mail addresses, phone
number, and institutional affiliation. In addition, please
submit a 100-word typed, single-spaced summary for the
conference program, headed by your name, affiliation,

SUBMITTING A COLLOQUIUM PROPOSAL: The GLS invites proposals
for two-hour colloquia. Please submit all abstracts for
presentation in a colloquium together, accompanied by a cover

there is free parking on weekends in Lot 3 in the
southwest corner of campus, which can be entered off of
